      Yes, watching that band of clear stuff on the sat radar annoyingly to the east. Possibly clearing from the north for a few hours.

    Clouds stopped play, now I know why I went back to OSC cameras

  8. Coco

    Damn it, between the clouds up norf it looks awesome, milky way from my back garden 1.5 miles from Preston City centre ... yet fluffy lumps keep blowing in from Ireland across the Irish Sea... sucking up all that black moisture no doubt..

      last night, was worth staying up for..

    3. kerrylewis

      kerrylewis

      I thought you must have meant last night . The one I saw was probably the brightest I've seen and with a wide trail. As you say, worth a late night!

  19. Coco

    Maybe I should think about using camera lenses and DSLR for astro imaging in the UK, seems a waist having so much invested in CCD's and scopes only to use less than 10x per year? anyone?
